This project documents the families with the Wurmfeld surname.

BOHEMIA AND MORAVIA

Rabbi David Wurmfeld (b. Staré Hobzí (Althart) d. 1835 Tučapy) seems to be the earliest Jew to adopt the Wurmfeld surname. All Wurmfelds found in the Czech Republic and Sankt Pölten, Austria, appear to be his decendants.

Stare Hobzi and Tucapy

David Wurmfeld (David Herrschel) (born bef.1762 Stare Hobzi? - 1835 Tučapy) - assumed that his father is Herrschel Zvi who took the name Friedmann

• Saara Rosalia Taub (Wurmfeld) (c. 1786 - April 4, 1834 Černovice). The birth record of her son Lazar Taub (HBMa Fond 241 Černovice inv.č. 78 N 1817 Folio 1) has "Sara Tochter des Davids Wurmfeld Jüdischen Lehrer von Tuczap": "Sara daughter of David Wurmfeld, Jewish teacher of Tučapy." This is strange, because the surviving records imply that he had three daughters named Sara, one of which appears to have later used her mother's name, Rosalia.

Caroline Podzahradsky (Wurmfeld) (c.1826 Tučapy? - March 18, 1898 Plzen, buried Tučapy) - assumed to be granddaughter of David Wurmfeld, rabbi of Tučapy

David H. Wurmfeld (February 15, 1836 Tučapy - January 8, 1912 Soběslav; buried Tučapy) - assumed to be great grandson of David Wurmfeld, rabbi of Tučapy]

Salomon Wurmfeld Soběslav, Tábor District, South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic (bef.1822 Tučapy - d.), children born in Sobeslav and Tucapy; assumed to be grandson of David Wurmfeld, rabbi of Tucapy. Husband of Rosa Theresia Wurmfeld (Winternitz) father of Rosa Weiss (Wurmfeld) and David Wurmfeld
